Oh Jenny I am so sorry your gorgeous girl is sick!!
Finn had the oily bum first and then the poops started and then he had more oily bum as it finished coming through, he did heaps of little farts before the poops started... I'm hoping she has started pooping for you! there is nothing worse then your little baby being sick! I really hope she gets over this for you! try and get some carafate from you vet... it won't hurt her to have it, I gave to Finn morning and night for a month after and he has never looked back
if I see him looking a little colicy I just start giving it to him again and it helps sort him out
I mix it with the red cordial and he takes it really well. if they ask who suggested carafate say a friend who is a vet nurse
(they don't need to know that I am a small animal vet nurse hee hee )
please keep us updated!

DONT GIVE UP!!!!
I know exactly how you feel Jenny!!! but I know she will fight so hard for you!! so keep faith in her and in God!
is she on fluids? have they worked out what it is?
I would ask if she can be put into the vets overnight if she isn't already! I know its expensive but well worth it!!
my little Finn wouldn't have made it otherwise!
thinking of you all!

the fact that she has stopped rolling is good... how long since she got the oil? Finn took about 2 hours with his second lot. the first lot they didn't drench him.
might send you a text.

If she wants to lay on her back it could be ulcers, try mentioning it to you vet. Come on Lady

When Shimmer had a gas colic she would lie down and roll onto her back and rest that way I think they get some sort of relief from it. She had stopped all the excessive rolling as she had been oiled and pain meds but she was still really uncomfortable so she would have fits of lying down on her back with her four legs just resting back on her and she seemed quiet comfy. She looked just like when you see a dog sleeping on their back.
Hope your filly is doing ok.
